Jesus replied, “Peter, I tell you that before a cock crows tomorrow morning, you will say three times that you don't know me.”
Jesus replied, “I promise you that before a cock crows tonight, you will say three times that you don't know me.”
Peter began to curse and swear, “I don't know that man!” At once a cock crowed,
Jesus replied, “This very night before a cock crows twice, you will say three times that you don't know me.”
Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to jail and even to die with you.”
Jesus asked his disciples, “When I sent you out without a money bag or a travelling bag or sandals, did you need anything?” “No!” they answered.
The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered that the Lord had said, “Before a cock crows tomorrow morning, you will say three times that you don't know me.”
“Would you really die for me?” Jesus asked. “I tell you for certain that before a cock crows, you will say three times that you don't even know me.”
Once more Peter denied it, and at once a cock crowed.
